The halfway point! Or there abouts. This is number 30 out of about 60 blades.
Once again a change at the top! The Shark is incredibly smooth. After the first stroke, I had to check to make sure I'd put the blade in. I actually DID forget once. 
Then I double checked the setting. I just could not feel an edge at all! Even at the lowest setting, I got a superior shave. They just got closer as I turned it up. I rated the best a 3.0. Higher than that and the improvements weren't as great and I did get some weepers. Even at the highest settings (up to 4.0) I did not feel the edge at all. Also NO irritation. Even when I was in a hurry, taking shortcuts. I expected some reddening on my neck and mustache area, but none.
This is by far the best blade I've tested so far. These Egyptian blades are simply outstanding. They have (over)filled the top of the ratings.
